3-2-4 Imaging modes checks
Verify function in each imaging mode of your system.
3-2-4-1 2D mode and M mode checks
Table 3-2 2D mode and M mode functions

Image optimization Functions
controls
Gain To increase or decrease the amount of echo information
displayed in an image. It may have the effect of brightening or
darkening the image if sufficient echo information is generated.
Depth Increasing the depth enables the deeper structures to be

visualized. You can decrease the depth if you do not need the
bottom portion of the display.
Focus You can tighten up the beam for a specific area by either
increasing the number of focal zones or moving the focal
zone(s). A graphic caret corresponding to the focal zone
position(s) appears on the right edge of the image.
Zoom Turn the Zoom key to activate Read Zoom and press the
Zoom key to activate Write Zoom. Use Read Zoom to get to
the area of Interest and then use Write Zoom to zoom in or
out.
Time Gain Compensation TGC amplifies returning signals to correct for the attenuation
(TGC) caused by tissues at increasing depths. TGC slide pots are
spaced proportionately to the depth. The area each pot
amplifies varies as well. A TGC curve may appear on the
display (if preset), matching the controls that you have set
(except during zoom). You can choose to deactivate the TGC
curve on the image.
Harmonic Harmonics enhances near field resolution for improved small
parts imaging as well as far field penetration by Digitally
Encoded Ultrasound (DEU). Harmonics reduces low frequency
high amplitude noise. Turning on this feature may be beneficial
when imaging isoechoic lesions in shallow-depth anatomy in
the breast, liver, and hard-to-visualize fetal anatomy.
Harmonics may improve 2D mode image quality without
introducing a contrast agent.
Frequency In multi frequency mode, you can change the frequency to the
transducer's next lower frequency or higher frequency.
Dynamic Range The ratio of the largest to smallest signals that an instrument
or a component of an instrument can respond to without
distortion.
In diagnostic ultrasound the dynamic range frequently is
expressed in decibel.
Dynamic Range is useful for optimizing tissue texture for
different anatomy. Dynamic Range should be adjusted so that
the highest amplitude edges appear as white while lowest
levels (such as blood) are just visible.
48
Rejection Elimination of low-amplitude signals from the display, also
known as noise rejection.
Up/Down Flips the image 180 degrees up/down.
Gray Map Press Gray Map to select a map. Gray maps gradually change
from least contrasty to most contrasty.
Colorize To enhance the user’s ability to distinguish B, M, and Doppler

Mode intensity valuations, the Colorization of a conventional
B-Mode image or Doppler Spectrum is used. Colorize is NOT
a doppler mode.
Edge Enhance Edge Enhance brings out subtle tissue differences and
boundaries by enhancing the gray scale differences
corresponding to the edges of structures. Adjustment to M
mode's edge enhancement affects M mode only.
Scan Area You can widen or narrow the size of the sector angle to
maximize the image's region of interest (ROI). Increase the
sector angle to see a wide field of view; decrease the sector
angle when you need to have a faster frame rate, as in fetal
heart.
Line Density Optimize 2D-mode frame rate or spatial resolution for the best
possible image. A lower line density is useful in fetal heart
beat, adult cardiac applications and in clinical Radiology
applications requiring significantly higher frame rates. A higher
line density is useful in obtaining very high resolution (e.g.
thyroid, testicles)
Dual and quad imaging Using dual imaging, you can position two images side-by side
on the display. Dual imaging is available in all 2D live imaging
Modes, M-mode, and Color Flow.
Sweep speed (M mode During M mode imaging, you can change the speed of the
only) sweeping display by turning Speed, a Soft Key display.
There are six sweep speeds: 0, 1, 2 , 3, 4, 5.
The sweep speed is displayed on the Soft menu window.
M-Mode Zoom (M mode When the system is in M mode, you can magnify a portion of
only) the reference image using M mode zoom function.

4-3-11 Power diagram
4-3-11-1 Overview
The power module main task is supplying power to various internal subsystems (system,
AC fan, monitor, outlet). The voltage to peripherals can be confederated to either 110 VAC
or 220 VAC. Input voltage is one adapter-all voltage.
4-3-11-2 Power Module
Figure4-10 E-CUBE7 power block diagram
4-3-11-3 DC output specification
To turn on the DC output voltage, the live power is needed as a standby power. This live power is
generated from power module. When the live power is supplied to the BE board and system
momentary switch is pushed on, BE board switches the PS_ON signal to low level to turn on DC
output voltage.
DC output capacity
- A4.2VP, 3.6A rms
- A7VP, 0.3A rms
- A5VN, 0.3A rms
- A12VP, 10A rms
- A12VN, 2A rms
- D3.3VP, 9.5A rms
- D5VP, 7.1A rms
- P5D_STB, 0.4A rms
Power module supplies High-voltage power to activate high voltage transmit pulse and static
supply bias voltage on high voltage HVMUX. When BE Board makes the HV_STOP signal to low,
power module generates the high voltage. The power module supplies +/-100V to the system
82
constantly and the VHVP and VHVN supplies 0~+/-80V individually.
BE Board controls the level of VHVP and VHVN through the IIC interface.
HV output capacity
- FHVP, 0.005A rms
- FHVN, 0.005A rms
- VHVP1, 0.2A rms
- VHVN1, 0.2A rms
- VHVP2, 0.2A rms
- VHVN2, 0.2A rms

7-2-1 Transducer handling and infection control

This information is intended to increase user awareness of the risks of disease transmission
associated with using this equipment and provide guidance in making decisions directly
affecting the safety of the patient as well as the equipment user.
Diagnostic ultrasound systems utilize ultrasound energy that must be coupled to the patient
by direct physical contact. Depending on the type of examination, this contact occurs with a
variety of tissues ranging from intact skin in a routine exam to recirculating blood in a
surgical procedure. The level of risk of infection varies greatly with the type of contact.
One of the most effective ways to prevent transmission between patients is with single use
or disposable devices. However, ultrasound transducers are complex and expensive devices
that must be reused between patients. It is very important, therefore, to minimize the risk of
disease transmission by using barriers and through proper processing between patients
195
7-2-2 Cleaning and disinfecting transducers
To clean a transducer,

When a transducer is capable of exceeding a mechanical or thermal index of 1.0, the
ultrasound imaging system displays indices starting from 0.4 in increments of 0.1 for all
displayed values.
A number of factors contribute to the estimation error for the displayed index. Variation
among transducers and systems, approximation for ‐time real index calculations, and
measurement errors contribute to the index display error. Measurement precision for
ultrasonic intensities, pressure, center frequency, & power is within 10%, 6%, 7% and 10%
respectively. The total estimated display accuracy is‐15%
+/ for MI and +/‐30% for TI.
Definitions for these parameters can be found in the AIUM/NEMA document entitled
Standard for Real‐Time Display of Thermal and Mechanical Aco ustic Output Indices on
Diagnostic Ultrasound Equipment (also known as the Output Display Standard)
